This is a variegated thread hand-dyed with St. John’s Wort. I let the vat age so that the yellow tones shine through. I named the color Solstice Wort because it looks like sunshine dancing across leaves. This is the sister color to Spring, another variegated thread color I made using St. John’s Wort. Spring is more green in tone.

Naturally dyed sashiko thread made by hand in Sonoma County, California. Honey Folk thread is hand-dyed from a combination of ethically sourced and sustainably wild harvested botanical materials such as flowers, herbs, weeds, fallen leaves, pruned branches, berries & such. This thread is a lovely choice for visible mending, boro stitching, sashiko, hand-embroidery, cross-stitch, tassels, pom-pons, gift wrapping, & more! Uneven coloring & gentle fading is just one of the magickal characteristics of botanical dyes.
